bubbie traveled to south america with zaida. her favorite part of the trip was The Hilton.
she wanted to bring home souvenirs to the grandkids but zaida wouldn't let her. no matter that he spent $10,000 taking her there, he wasn't going to have her spend anything extra on stupid trinkets for the kids. but bubbie, like any exquisitely trained undercover agent/crack smuggler understands the arbitrariness and urgency of it all and how to bring in goods if not over the Latin border, then over the border of Orange County.
so when she returned from south america souvenir-less, she went to TJ Max at the mall down the road and found gifts for nancy and the kids that "could" be from Santiago and Rio--in a Nordstroms bag she brought over a rustic brown tee-shirt for jonah that looked very Brazilian except for the fact that it said Los Angeles on it. and for nancy and maddy she bought some silver plated machine/hand-hammered dangles and faux turquoise drops that reflected excellent south american staging on Bubbie's part.
here, nancy models the heartfelt fake souvenirs.
